The Cartier Tortue Chrono Monopoussoir (Private Cartier Paris Collection)

When several brands have designed watches in the shape of a Tonneau - which is a classic shape these days, after all - few can match the best Cartier Tortue watches on the market. The model exudes style and elegance. Born in 1912, it underwent a subtle, seductive makeover in the 1990s. The Chrono-Monopoussoir is, without doubt, the most striking of the creations from this period. A nod to tradition, it's a one-button chronograph. Indeed, until the 1930s, chronographs had a single push button to activate the start-stop-reset functions, always in the same order, and Cartier produced numerous Tortue with such movements over time. The absence of the traditional chronograph pushers leaves the purity of its harmonious curves intact.
The watch is powered by a fascinating exclusive timepiece, the Caliber 45MC. This manual winding column-wheel chronograph was developed and manufactured with THA (Techniques Horlogères Appliquées, founded in Sainte-Croix with the now well-known names F.P. Journe, Vianney Halter and Denis Flageollet. THA was acquired in 2007 by Carl F. Bucherer).
The Cartier Tank Cintrée

Picking favorites from the many iterations of the cult Tank watch is a tough task. The pure and elegant Tank Normal, the unique Tank Chinoise, the analog Tank à Guichet, the nonconformist Tank Asymétrique, the refined Tank à Vis are all respected masterpieces.
Born in the 1920s, the Tank Cintrée (and its modern version, the Tank Américaine) is, without doubt, one of the most elegant watches Cartier has ever made. It has a remarkable shape as it is very elongated, slim, and curved to fit around the wrist. This stretched version of the Tank is the ultimate chic statement. Although always produced in small quantities, several variations in size, materials, and functions have been proposed.
The Cartier Crash

Founded in London in 1967, the nonconformist Crash is one of Cartier's most expressive designs. While 'Swinging London' emphasized modernity and creative freedom with a thriving cultural scene, the Crash is said to have been born after a car accident after a Baignoire Allongée melted and distorted beyond recognition, which inspired Cartier to create this 'Dali-esque' piece. To create. Clockwork design. A creation unlike any other and yet unmistakably Cartier. The original late 1960s production, featuring London Hallmark, is sporadic and sought after.
The Cartier Tonneau
A modern version of the Tonneau was manufactured in the 2000s, with a more significant case and more massive strap. Since 2004, the Tonneau has been fitted with Jaeger-Lecoultre timepieces again.
One of the first wristwatches ever made by Cartier (1906), the Tonneau, the French word for the barrel, was a completely innovative shape at the time. The thin case is curved to ergonomically fit the wrist. The epitome of class and sophistication, the Tonneau is the ultimate Dandy watch, with the undeniable luxury replica, Cartier watches online flair, far from the codes of rugged sports or military watches. A feeling enhanced by the model's thin strap. The perfect watch if you are nostalgic for a bygone masculine elegance.
The Cartier Cloche
